Hello, I live in Raleigh, NC and have quotes from several contractors for double hung vinyl replacement windows. I'm looking to go with middle-of-road windows and each contractor uses a different manufacturer/model, and I am hoping folks here can provide insight as to which ones are recommended to go with in terms of quality and value.

They are just not as efficient as a higher end window or properly designed to lower air infiltration in my opinion.For great lakes, ask to see the “ eco smart”. Thats a decent window. He showed you the economical series which doesnt necessarily translate to value.

+1 to the above recommendations... I'd say that your existing choices for the most part struggle to be considered mid-range at best. Vinyl windows have a relatively mixed reputation, and the negative end of that is due primarily to the lower end products. Consumers buy cheaper vinyl windows, they are ready to be replaced again in 10 years +/-, and then they think its because vinyl must be a bad choice... The best advice that you can get is to invest in better products/installation. Consider financing or saving up if that doesn't fit the current budget.
